Harvard students hacked Meta Ray-Ban glasses to dox strangers in real time using AI face recognition.

The episode begins with host Patrick Beja introducing guests Cédric Ingrand and Siegfried (also known as Captain Web), and promoting their upcoming live appearance at the Pod Paris podcast festival. The first news segment details a project by two Harvard students who hacked Meta Ray-Ban glasses to create a real-time doxxing system. The system uses the glasses' camera, an AI face detector, the controversial PimEyes service, and public databases to identify strangers and retrieve personal information within seconds. The hosts discuss the social engineering and privacy implications, comparing it to a Black Mirror episode. Next, they delve into the conflict between WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg and the hosting company WP Engine. Mullenweg has cut WP Engine's access to WordPress update APIs, accusing the company of profiting from the open-source project without contributing back financially or with developer time. The debate centers on the ethics of open-source usage by large commercial entities. The third major topic is Microsoft's new Copilot AI features, including Copilot Voice with emotional tone, Copilot Vision for browser analysis, Copilot Daily summaries, and the Think Deeper reasoning model. This leads to a broader discussion on AI trends, specifically the importance of RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) for tools like Notebook LM. Siegfried shares a practical example of using ChatGPT with pricing grids for his printing business. The hosts then cover OpenAI's massive $6.6 billion funding round from investors like Microsoft and Nvidia, valuing the company at $157 billion and signaling its shift to a more commercial structure. They also analyze a major U.S. court ruling in the Epic vs. Google case, which forces Google to open the Android ecosystem to third-party app stores in significant ways for three years. Other news items touched upon include rumors about the next iPhone SE having Apple's own 5G modem, Amazon's $100 Fire HD tablet, the closure of Tim Berners-Lee's World Wide Web Foundation, and a 30-year-old telecom backdoor in the U.S. being exploited by Chinese hackers. The episode concludes with the hosts sharing their online presences and promoting the show's Patreon community.
